The tab is between the "View" and "Installation Summary" tabs (and is also a choice under the View tab). This Search is very flexible and powerful, and much more so than what I remember from working with Synaptics. And the Discover tool, while having a nice simple interface, is not near as powerful as YaST.
Think maybe it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with YaST? And maybe stay away as much as possible from the terminal; you only borrow trouble using rpm, zypper, and even basic commands or syntax which clearly are not familiar to you. There is very little that you need to do on your system that can't be done with the included gui tools - if you learn them.
